Lavender And Yellow

Summer Flowers. oil on canvas, ©2014, Fay Terry

This is a painting from  a while back that I thought I would post now that the leaves on all my Hydrangea bushes are filling out. I look forward to seeing them in full bloom in the next couple of months. The yellow flowers are Marigolds and we nearly always plant them because they stand up to  the summer heat.

Happy Saturday!

Flowers For A Blue Moon

Marigolds And Hydrangeas, 11 x 14, oil on canvas, ©2012, Fay Terry

The flower container is a very old canning jar that came from my grandmother's house in West Virginia. I seem to always use jars for summer flowers instead of putting them in a vase.

I was inspired to paint this because the Hydrangeas were catching the light and just seemed to be glowing. The bright yellow trio was like frosting on the cake and I just couldn't stop looking at them.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed painting them!

Please feel free to forward this to a friend.

This is a very quick painting of a tiny part of the garden, including some Basil in a paper cup that I have not had time to plant in the ground.  There is a big thunderstorm on the way so I really had to hustle to get it painted.
